i don't seem to receive "likes," so if you "like me," shoot me an email!

me: cheeky, fun-loving, and independent lady with a good sense of humor and a great sense of rhythm (according to my kindergarten teacher-funny story). i love to dance (that is a huge understatement). i love music and enjoy catching a show when i can wrangle someone to go with me. i am a bit of a political junkie - sources - npr, nytimes and the pbs newshour (i want mark shields to be my grandpa). i love to travel. i'm no rock climber, but i do need to get my exercise in - bikram yoga (i'm a hot sweaty mess), weights, spinning, and tennis are my regime. i love competitive sports - just went to see the warriors in the playoffs - went to the 2014 world series - bucket list items - olympics and world cup!

more than anything else, i value my relationships with family and friends. my parents are from great britain and are still (happily?) married after 47 years. i grew up catholic - no longer practicing, but the catholic guilt remains ;-) i spend a lot of time with my sister and my three nephews. i love them to pieces. i also feel really lucky to have great friends from every stage of my life. i've been friends with my best friend since we were five!

you: a kind, funny, smart, and perhaps irreverent man, who won't be embarrassed when i start singing into my finger microphone, who wants to travel the world, go to the gym or on a hike, and head to a show or a game. someone who can make me laugh and who will laugh at/with me! someone who values family and friends. good with a bbq is plus!

What I’m doing with my life

livin it

I’m really good at

dancing, karaoke, backbends, making brownies, making fun of myself, playing hide and seek, and completing puzzles (my nephew's favorites)...i also do a mean glaswegian accent and mix a lethal cocktail!

books - i love a good story, so i tend to read fiction. i've always got a book on my nightstand. just finished all the light we cannot see. all time favorites? paula, kite runner, the namesake, middlesex, a prayer for owen meany, and anything by david sedaris, he cracks my shit up!

music - arcade fire, the shins, the decemberists, jt, jayz, new order, the cure, the smiths, depeche mode.

tv- i'm not afraid to admit that i own and watch television. some favs, mr. robot, mad men, breaking bad, house of cards, homeland, arrested development, parks and rec, the daily show.

movies - royal tenenbaums, garden state, the breakfast club, the princess bride, dirty dancing. coincidence that they all have great soundtracks?

The six things I could never do without

family/friendsmusicexercise - yoga, weight training, hiking, spinningNPRa good cup of tea (pg tips preferred!) and a good bookice creamyes, that's seven, six is a random number anyway!

I spend a lot of time thinking about

when will i be able to take down this profile?am i the last facebook hold out?will CAL ever make it to the rose bowl?why do so many men on this site take selfies in front of the bathroom mirror?is social media killing our ability to relate to one another?

On a typical Friday night I am

happy hour and/or dinner...hopefully out with friends and having a good time!

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

i cried during the last colbert report. i knew that i loved stephen, but tears, really?

You should message me if

you can make me laugh, you enjoy cutting a rug, you want to grab a drink and have a chat, and see where it goes...

please don't message if you are looking for a pen pal - who has time for that?
